If you've lost someone, you know that grief hides in plain sight. Knowing its shape can be helpful, especially when you worry about forgetting, but remembering hurts too much. This journal is a place to pause for a private communion or confrontation with your loss. Your grief is your own, but you are not alone.

  • Prompts for recording memories, making a wish, and creating rituals, plus space for grief's messier thoughts and feelings. 
  • Written by ___LESS
  • Designed by Christina Labey 
  • Printed & Bound in the USA by Conveyor Studio
  • Published by People I've Loved

Trusted Stationer of 13+ years

Papersmiths started with a single shelf of stationery in a Bristol design studio. A decade on, we still choose every piece the same way - for its story, its tactility, and the way it makes you want to sit down and write something. Visit us in Chelsea or Brighton, or shop the collection we've spent years designing and refining.
